Bug Description

Do we decide to release instance boot and/or EBS boot AMIs?

So far, we've been developing instance boot AMIs. I would argue, however, that we should release both instance boot and EBS boot AMIs.

The work to implement instance boot AMIs is done. However, Amazon's EBS boot system is much more similar to other VPS (and should maybe be considered the default release rather than instance boot). I believe the following steps will create a successful EBS boot AMI:

edit the Mercury init files to use /mnt only on instance boot AMIs and not EBS boot AMIs.
